Malaysia Guide (Thread 9)

[Lexi]

Thanks po sa info. hanapin ko itong Hotlink sims pagdating namin sa Oct. 31.

^^ yes sis, Tune Hotel pinakamalapit sa LCCT airport (take note that there are 2 airports in KL and there is a 3rd one opening next year so just remember to check or mention which airport ).

^ there are prepaid sims like tourist pack here so no need for registration kasi those are valid for a short period of time lang.  but if they do need registration, you just have to provide your passport.  mura lang ang mobile data plan here.  there are data plans for 1 day, 1 week, etc.  Mas ok Hotlink sims, I use the same provider til now.

^^ Zouk is the best here in KL they say.  Yong ibang napuntahan ko kasi mas ok pa clubs natin sa Pinas. 

[cutiepie]

^^ zouk it is. hehe. thanks!

Ang PAL express ba sa KLIA din?

Meron bang parang mga transient lang or mga parang mga motel sa KL na malapit sa airport? Namamahalan ako sa tune hotel, haha! I read good reviews sa Moon Eleven kaso wala nang available sa date na gusto ko. 50myr lang daw kasi dun per night? Gusto ko sana mga ganung budget lang. Meron ba?

We will drop off sa Johor Bahru as we will ride the train from Woodlands(Singapore). We'd like to visit Batu Caves sana, Ive been searching and I just cant find KTM Komuter route near Johor Bahru area or Im just so poor with directions. Would really appreciate your inputs, sisses! Thanks

[phurple0515]

^^ Yes sis, PAL/PAL express is in KLIA.  Tune Hotel is not near KLIA, its near LCCT airport.  Meron atang mga lounges sa KLIA mismo sis.  Not just sure of any budget near KLIA.  Usually kasi medyo malayo from KLIA airport ang mga budget hotels pa rin. check out Agoda sis.

^ I'm not familiar with Johor baru area sis pero you can check out the Singapore-Malaysia thread for more info esp. for those coming from Johor Baru.

Went to zouk club last saturday. Didn't enjoy that much. Buti na lang free ang entrance coz tourists kami. Bring passport and queue sa tourist registration lane. Next time will try the marini's.

Ang ganda ng petronas last saturday night. It's pink! Kasi daw breast cancer month.

We stayed at geo hotel. If you're not fussy i would highly recommend it. As in pagbaba lang ng pasar seni station and walking distance lang sa tourist spots like china town, merdeka square etc.

If you're a tea lover like me, must go sa starhill tea salon. I love their starhill jewel tea.

Mga sis, ok ba exchange rate ng peso to ringgit sa Lcct airport? If ever, may recommend ba kayo na moneychanger sa kl sentral?

[tinapay]

^same question

thanks sis phurple0515. nag try nga ko maghanap sa agoda. di ko alam kung i-risk ko ba yung average rating lang (around 5/10) kasi tulugan lang namin.  ang plan namin, coming from LCCT, derecho na kami sa Petronas by bus going to KL Sentral then train to KLCC.  tama di ba? how much kaya train from KL Sentral to KLCC?  then cab siguro kami going to KL Tower or may cheaper way ba?  then after these short tours, saka kami babalik ng near KLIA na.  meron akong nakitang hotel, mga 10km away from KLIA.  ang problem ko ngayon kung anong transpo pabalik ng KLIA galing KL Tower... help..

[phurple0515]

^ sis tinapay, tama.  walking distance lang ang KL tower sa Petronas,  baka matraffic pa kayo papuntang KL tower kasi iikot ng driver yong taxi around Petronas para lang lumbas going to KL tower.  Galing KL tower, pwede kayong mag-monorail sa Raja Chulan station to KL sentral, then from KL sentral take the KLIA express diretso ng KLIA na.

^^ sis resme, mababa lang palitan sis usually pag airports ka nagpapapalit.  Just have it change there yong gagamitin niyong pera lang.

^^^ sis cutiepie, di talaga ok ang mga clubs dito.  mas enjoy sa Pinas.  The best na nila 'daw' yang Zouk.  la kasi masyado nagka-club dito.  more on lounging lang inuman, etc.

[tinapay]

^nabasa ko rito na malayo-layo rin daw pag nilakad from Petronas to KL tower? naku, backpackers pa naman kami, bitbit namin gamit.  come to think of it, pwede rin pala sana sa KLIA na lang kami mag overnight, di na kami maghahanap ng accommodation.  pwede naman yun di ba? wala nga lang ligo ligo, haha!

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ meron paliguan sa KL Sentral, minimal fee lang. Matino na rin naman.

Yung KL Tower naman pag nilakad, sa pagkakaalala ko, medyo malayo din tapos me pataas na way so for me better na I-taxi, esp if me mga gamit...

[tinapay]

^like ilang minutes kaya pag nilakad or mga ilang km?  gabi pa naman kami makakarating ng Petronas and KL Tower so siguro di na ma-trapik nun?  saka saan yung sinasabi mong paliguan sa KL Sentral? sa station mismo?

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ yup, sa loob mismo ng station. Malapit sa lockers yata yun.. Re KL Tower, both times na punta namin, we took taxi going there..

[tinapay]

^ah ok. mga magkano inabot ng taxi from petronas to KL tower? thanks sa info about sa shower room

[phurple0515]

^ walking is just about 10 minutes from Petronas to KL tower, as long as you take the P. Ramlee street.  MAdadagdagan na lang oras niyo walking paakyat ng KL tower na.

[tinapay]

^thanks so much sis. another question. yung KTM Komuter train, nakita ko kasi yun ang sasakyan from KL Tower papuntang Nilai station.  sa bandang Nilai kasi yung nakita kong murang resort. then from here may buses papuntang KLIA airport.  mga ilang oras kaya travel time nito?  saka anong bus ba yung sinasakyan?  safe ba ang aerobus and skybus?

magkano rin pala usually ang mga food dun, say sa malapit sa Petronas?
